Recommended action: Start geckodriver with --allow-system-access (e.g. Service(service_args=['--allow-system-access']) in Selenium) and remove the Firefox flag/env var from capabilities; only do this for trusted clients (it grants full system access).
Option: Start geckodriver with --allow-system-access (e.g. Service(service_args=['--allow-system-access']) in Selenium) and remove the Firefox flag/env var from capabilities; only do this for trusted clients (it grants full system access). [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Selenium/WebDriver tests that switch to the Firefox chrome context (driver.context('chrome'), moz/context endpoint, browser UI testing)
Steps:
1. Remove --remote-allow-system-access / MOZ_REMOTE_ALLOW_SYSTEM_ACCESS from moz:firefoxOptions.
2. Pass --allow-system-access to geckodriver via the driver service args.
3. Upgrade geckodriver to a release that supports the flag (introduced 0.36.0).
Expected: The error no longer appears.
